restaurant and offers room service. The Sheraton
Gateway is located just minutes away from

for a double room. Be sure and tell them that
you are with the pageant in order to get this

| ROYALTY
GIFTS: Honoring returning royalty is
very important to Southern Beauties & Beaus. We
are making it easy for you to honor our
returning royalty. I am asking that each
contestant bring NINE $5.00 bills (this is for
the queens/kings in your age division and for
the overalls in your breakdown.. Please put them
in one envelope and put your child’s name and
age division on the envelope. You must turn this
in when you register. We are going to make each
returning royalty their own special MONEY TREE.
If you usually spend around $7.00 per gift plus
the gift bags, this will save you money and
time. I really think the royalty will like
getting this gift as it will be different and
they can buy themselves something special with
the money or use it toward their expenses on
returning to crown. I plan to give all returning
royalty a BUILD-A-BEAR. Just think, it might be
you next year receiving your own special money
tree!!! |
EARLY TRICK OR TREAT NIGHT
Since the pageant falls close to
Halloween, the kids can bring their costume (no
real scary costumes please) to the pageant for
some early trick or treating. This is how it
works. I am asking contestants who wish to
participate in this to bring some candy or
souvenirs such as pencils, good luck notes,
trinkets from your state, grab bags, etc. to the
pageant to give out to the other contestants.
When you register for the pageant, I will give
everyone who wishes to participate a special
orange pumpkin to tape to their hotel door.
Starting at 7:00 PM, contestants accompanied by
a chaperone can go floor to floor trick or
treating. If the door has a pumpkin taped to it,
then you will know they are participating.
Someone will need to stay in each room to give
out the goodies they brought. It is not
mandatory that you participate in this. I just
thought it would be fun for the kids. We have
done this at our previous pageants & the
children really seem to get some special treats.
Since the older contestants (8-up) will be
competing at this time, you may want to leave
your pumpkin on your door so that these
